Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study of LRG-002 Hard Capsules (Lek d.d., Slovenia) Used in the Prophylaxis of Antibiotic-associated Diarrhea in Adults. (NCT NCT04321460)

NCT ID: NCT04321460

Last Updated: 2022-03-14

Results Overview

Diarrhea is defined as loose or watery stool (Type 5-7 according to Bristol Stool Form Scale (BSFS)), three times a day (frequent bowel movements with formed stool is not considered as diarrhea) in accordance with WHO criteria; based on the diary data (BSFS) and confirmation of AAD by the investigator. BSFS scale includes Types 1 to 7 where Types 1 and 2 indicate constipation, with 3 and 4 being the ideal stools as they are easy to defecate while not containing excess liquid, 5 indicate lack of dietary fiber, and 6 and 7 indicate diarrhea. AAD (antibiotic-associated diarrhea) is defined as diarrhea associated with the antibiotic use caused by C. difficile or of otherwise not identified etiology, upon analysis of stool samples and differential diagnostics according to investigator's judgment. Diarrhea was assessed in a diary.

AAD is defined as diarrhea associated with the antibiotic use caused by C. difficile or of otherwise not identified etiology, upon analysis of stool samples and differential diagnostics according to investigator's judgment.The duration of AAD was the time from the onset of AAD to the normalization of stool form according to Bristol Stool Scale (types 1, 2, 3 and 4 where Types 1 and 2 indicate constipation, with 3 and 4 being the ideal stools as they are easy to defecate while not containing excess liquid) and the presence of normal stool within 48 hours was assessed based on the data of patient's diary.

Duration of any diarrhea is defined as the time from the onset of diarrhea to the normalization of stool shape according to the Bristol Stool Form Scale (BSFS) (Types 1, 2, 3, and 4) and the presence of normal stool for 48 hours).

Population: The intention-to-treat (ITT) population included participants with available Day 1 assessment data

Individual changes in the stool consistency were classified as improved / unchanged / worsened. The calculations were conducted as follows: 1. if more than 1 observation was available for a specific day, the maximum score was taken; 2. each subsequent day was compared to Day 1 according to the following rules: * variations within 3-4 points, 1-2 points, or 5-7 points were qualified as "unchanged"; * transfer from 1-2 points or 5-7 points to 3-4 points, as well as transfer from 5-7 points to 1-2 points were qualified as "improved"; * transfer from 3-4 points to 1-2 points or 5-7 points, as well as transfer from 1-2 points to 5-7 points were qualified as "worsened". Score interpretation: 3. 1, 2 - hard stool (constipation) 4. 3, 4 - normal value 5. 5, 6, 7 - loose stool

Population: The intention-to-treat (ITT) population included all randomized participants who received at least one dose of the investigational medicinal product/placebo and have completed at least one visit aimed at the evaluation of efficacy parameters (i.e., at least all the procedures of Visit 1).

The severity of gastrointestinal symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, flatulence, abdominal pain and decreased appetite was assessed based on the data of patient's diary. Severity of symptoms was assessed based on the 5-point verbal scale \[0 to 4\] where 0- symptoms were absent, 4- symptoms were very severe
